Application filed February 1c, 1919. {Serial No. 276,155.

To all whomjt may concern:

' Be it known that 1, CHARLES V. HAYNES,-

u citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Radiator Valve, of

which the following is a specification.

My invention relates'to val'vesof the coarecter shown in my Patents Nos. 1,2? 7,413, of

September 3, 1918, and 1,283,752 of Novemher 5, 1918, intended for use with all types of hot water, vapor, vacuum, modulating or atmospheric heating systems,

The main purpose of my invention is to make the parts more accessible for Withdrswal for-repairs while retaining all the sclvunteges of the valves of the patents.

- Ae turther-purpos e is to utilize the outer L shell'ol the valve to perform the function of the fixed shells of these two patents, re-

. ducin the size and Wei 'ht of the valve and path between the giving. a more direct fluid inlet and outlet openings. Further purposes will appear in the speci ficetion and in the claims.

I have preferred to illustrate my inventionby but one form thereof, selecting a form which is practical, highly efficient and having the advantages 01" my soul patent form's though much cheaper to manufacture than either, and which at the same time Well ill illustrates the principles of my invention.

Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section through thevnlve.

Figure 2 is a centrel longitudinal section throughthe casing, the parts being removed, taken at right angles to the section in Fig ure 1.

Figure 3 is a top plan View of the structure seen in Figure 1.

Figure 4 is at side elevation of one of the parts.

Figures 5 and 6 are sections upon line 5-5 in Figure 1, the parts being in different relative positions. t

In the drawings similar numerals indicate like parts.

The outer. shell of the valve is shown at 10. It is provided with a threaded inlet opening at 11 and with an outlet at 12 which is connected with threaded outlet pipe 13 by means of a coupling 14.

Whereas, the inlet in each of my patents is made through a removable bottom closure, in my present valve I form the bottom solid except for the inlet indicated.

The outer casing is bored at 15 to provide a barrel taking the place of the sleeves (such as 12 in Patent llo. 1,283,752) in my patents, above stated, and this boring opera-- tion is extended below the opening 16 from the barrel into the outlet to provide an annular depression, as shown at 17 about a raised seat 18 surrounding the inlet opening.

Theopening 16 is rectangular in cross sec-= tion in order that its communication with barrel may correspond with the rectangular slotting or openings Within thecylinders or shells of my patents. The barrel with its lower raised, seat and the rectangular outlet more expensive construction of Patent No.

1,283,752,1for example.

As the barrel construction described requires no parts removable from the lower end for machining, all of the separable parts can he made removable readily from the top of t e valve end are so constructed. This makes the parts much more easily accessible for repairs or replacement.

My present valve is capable of using the same character of valve parts as are used in my patents and l have shown the parts as corresponding closelywith those in Patent The va1ve'19 is intended to move verticallyghut not to rotate, within a shell 20, provided with an opening 21. The shell is retained in a cap 22 and is sealed against veen it'und the cap by packing holes the ports in position above no; disk 25. As in my previous the shell may be adjusted in 13 positions so as to have the nond who-llyor partly, as

Bil

desired, with the rectangular opening 16, the position in which it is set belng shown tlons are shown in Figures 5 and 6.

The valve 19 is, provided with a filler member 26 for the opening 21, and is itself carried by a screw 27, hollow and of rectangular interior section, which turns in a thread Within the shell. It is turned by a square head 28 upon a spindle 29. These parts are upwardly pressed by a spring 30 and the upward thrust taken by a nut 31 through handle 32. A'collar 33 upon the Spindle engages the packing 34 to seal against leakage past the spindle.

The cap 22 is removable from the body of the valve and is held in place thereon by a threaded flange'35 which compresses 'packing 23 against the top of the valve to seal at this point.

In operation :-the shell 20 is set to the position for full opening or such proportion thereof as may be desired when the valve is raised. The handle is then turned to close or open the valve. The filler piece 26 per forms the same function in sealing from fluid flow the upper part of the opening 21 which is out of line with the outlet opening 16, as inmy patents named.

The simplification of the parts, their removability from above for repairs, or replacements, and the savings in weight and cost will be recognized in this art as decided advantages eagerly sought by all terested in radiator valves. by the indicating disk. The different posi- Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a radiator valve, a body having an inlet at the bottom, a valve seat coaxial with the inlet and an outlet of rectangular section at'the side, anadjustably held sleeve fitting in the body and having an opening corresponding in shape with the outlet section, a cap and connections retaining the sleeve inposition and holding the end of the sleeve against the body about the valve seat, packing sealing the cap against the body and sleeve and the joint between them,

a valve carried by the sleeve and adapted to engage the valve seat and rotary axiallyfixed means for rotating the valve.

2. In a radiator valve, a body having an inlet at the bottom, a valve seat coaxial with the inlet and an outlet of rectangular sec? tion at the side, a sleeve fitting in thebody' and having a flange registering substantially with the upper edge of the body, packing engaging the flange and edge of the body, a cap holding the packing in position and forcing the sleeve against the body about the valve seat, the valve carried by the sleeve and adapted to engage the seat and operating mechanism for said valve.
